Sinopsis
Toad and Ten Short Stories follows Joe—an aging scientist with an unruly conscience and a long memory—through kitchens, courtyards, hotel corridors, cemeteries, and ruined sacred sites where ordinary life tilts, almost imperceptibly, into the uncanny. In these eleven pieces, a door opens without cause, a rescued toad leaves a message of thanks, portraits gaze back with warmth or judgment, and a childhood gleaner may have been a deity—or simply someone pushed to the margins. Joe’s rational mind keeps offering mechanisms—air pressure, vertigo, drafts, placebo—yet each explanation leaves a remainder: a warm pane of glass, an impossible light in a photograph, a child who is and is not under a tree, a man in a fortress who resembles the living. Moving from Taiwan’s ancestral farmhouse to New Orleans and Puerto Rico, and from Roman rubble beneath a church floor to questions of meat, plants, and photosynthesis, these stories do not ask the reader to believe in ghosts; they ask the reader to notice how presence persists—through grief, through attention, through the places where the past presses quietly into the present.
